+# Chisel Support Implementation Summary
+
+## What Was Implemented
+
+Complete end-to-end support for Chisel/Scala processor projects in the Processor CI configuration generator.
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+

+   - Core module handling all Chisel-specific operations
+   - Functions for parsing Scala files, extracting modules, building dependency graphs

+
+2. **`chisel_runner.py`** (200 lines)

+
+3. **`test_chisel.py`** (221 lines)
+   - Comprehensive test suite
+   - Creates minimal test project and verifies all functionality
+   - Tests: file discovery, module extraction, dependency graph, top module identification
+
+4. **`CHISEL_SUPPORT.md`**
+   - Complete documentation of Chisel support
+   - Usage examples, requirements, implementation details
+
+### Modified Files
+
+1. **`config_generator.py`**
+   - Added imports for chisel_manager functions
+   - Added `.scala` to supported extensions
+   - Modified `find_and_log_files()` to detect Scala files first
+   - Added Chisel processing branch in `generate_processor_config()`
+   - Updated docstring with Chisel support information
+
+## Core Functionality
+
+### 1. Parse Scala Files → Find all `class X extends Module`
+
+```python
+def extract_chisel_modules(scala_files: List[str]) -> List[Tuple[str, str]]:
+    """
+    Extracts Chisel Module definitions from Scala files.
+    Matches: class X extends Module, class X extends RawModule, object X extends Module
+    """
+```
+
+Example patterns matched:
+```scala
+class SimpleCPU extends Module { ... }
+class ALU(width: Int) extends Module { ... }
+object TopLevel extends Module { ... }
+```
+
+### 2. Build Dependency Graph from `Module(new Y)`
+
+```python
+def build_chisel_dependency_graph(modules) -> Tuple[Dict, Dict]:
+    """
+    Builds dependency graph by analyzing Module instantiations.
+    Returns: (module_graph, module_graph_inverse)
+    """
+```
+
+Detects instantiation patterns:
+```scala
+val alu = Module(new ALU)
+val alu = Module(new ALU())
+val alu = Module(new ALU(32))
+```
+
+### 3. Identify Top-Level Module (Not Instantiated by Any Other)
+
+```python
+def find_top_module(module_graph, module_graph_inverse, modules, repo_name) -> str:
+    """
+    Identifies top-level module using:
+    - Zero parents (not instantiated by others)
+    - Heuristics: "top" in name, matches repo name
+    - Number of instantiated modules (complexity)
+    """
+```
+
+Scoring system prefers:
+- Modules not instantiated by others
+- Modules with "top" in name (+1000)
+- Modules matching repository name (+500)
+- Modules instantiating more components (+10 per instantiation)
+- Excludes test/bench modules (-10000)
+
+### 4. Find or Generate Main App Calling Top Module
+
+```python
+def generate_main_app(directory, top_module, package_name="generated") -> str:
+    """
+    Finds existing or generates new main App object.
+    Creates: src/main/scala/generated/GenerateVerilog.scala
+    """
+```
+
+Generated App structure:
+```scala
+package generated
+
+import chisel3._
+import chisel3.stage.{ChiselStage, ChiselGeneratorAnnotation}
+
+object GenerateVerilog extends App {
+  (new ChiselStage).execute(
+    Array("--target-dir", "generated"),
+    Seq(ChiselGeneratorAnnotation(() => new TopModule()))
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Write or Modify build.sbt
+
+```python
+def configure_build_sbt(directory, top_module=None) -> str:
+    """
+    Ensures build.sbt exists with proper Chisel dependencies.
+    Creates minimal build.sbt if missing.
+    """
+```
+
+Generated build.sbt includes:
+- Scala 2.13.10
+- Chisel3 3.6.0
+- ChiselTest 0.6.0
+- Proper scalac options
+
+### 6. Run SBT to Emit Verilog
+
+```python
+def emit_verilog(directory, main_app, timeout=300) -> Tuple[bool, str, str]:
+    """
+    Executes: sbt runMain <MainClass>
+    Returns: (success, verilog_file_path, log_output)
+    """
+```
+
+Process:
+1. Extracts main class name from App file
+2. Runs `sbt runMain package.MainClass`
+3. Locates generated Verilog in `generated/` directory
+4. Returns success status and file path
+
+## Integration with Config Generator
+
+The main `config_generator.py` now:
+
+1. **Auto-detects Chisel projects** by checking for `.scala` files
+2. **Switches to Chisel mode** automatically
+3. **Processes end-to-end**:
+   - Finds Scala files
+   - Extracts modules
+   - Builds dependency graph
+   - Identifies top module
+   - Generates/finds main App
+   - Configures build.sbt
+   - Runs SBT to generate Verilog
+4. **Saves configuration** in same format as HDL projects
+5. **Handles cleanup** of cloned repositories
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Process Remote Chisel Repository
+```bash
+python config_generator.py -u https://github.com/user/chisel-cpu -p config/
+```
+
+### Process Local Chisel Project
+```bash
+python config_generator.py \
+  -u https://github.com/user/chisel-cpu \
+  -l /path/to/local/project \
+  -p config/
+```
+
+### Optional: Direct Processing with chisel_runner.py
+```bash
+python chisel_runner.py -d /path/to/chisel/project -o config/
+python chisel_runner.py -d /path/to/chisel/project --list-modules
+python chisel_runner.py -d /path/to/chisel/project --skip-verilog
+```
